Psalms 25

¹To thee, O LORD! do I lift up my soul.

²O my God! I trust in thee; let me not be put to shame! Let not my enemies triumph over me!

³Yea, none that hope in thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame who wickedly forsake thee.

⁴Cause me to know thy ways, O LORD! Teach me thy paths!

⁵Lead me in thy truth, and teach me! For thou art the God from whom cometh my help; In thee do I trust at all times!

⁶Remember thy loving-kindness, O LORD! and thy tender mercy, Which thou hast exercised of old!

⁷Remember not the faults and transgressions of my youth! According to thy mercy remember thou me, For thy goodness’ sake, O LORD!

⁸Good and righteous is the LORD; Therefore showeth he to sinners the way.

⁹The humble he guideth in his statutes, And the humble he teacheth his way.

¹⁰All the doings of the LORD are mercy and truth To those who keep his covenant and his precepts.

¹¹For thy name’s sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity; for it is great!

¹²Who is the man that feareth the LORD? Him doth he show the way which he should choose.

¹³He shall himself dwell in prosperity, And his offspring shall inherit the land.

¹⁴The friendship of the LORD is with them that fear him, And he will teach them his covenant.

¹⁵Mine eyes are ever directed to the LORD, For he will pluck my feet from the net.

¹⁶Look upon me, and pity me; For I am desolate and afflicted!

¹⁷Lighten the sorrows of my heart, And deliver me from my troubles!

¹⁸Look upon my affliction and distress, And forgive all my sins!

¹⁹Consider how many are my enemies, And with what violence they hate me!

²⁰Guard thou my life, and deliver me! Let me not be put to shame, for I have trusted in thee!

²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For on thee do I rest my hope!

²²Redeem Israel, O God! from all his troubles!

¹Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

²O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

³Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

⁴Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.

⁵Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

⁶Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

⁷Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.

⁸Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

⁹The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

¹⁰All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

¹¹For thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

¹²What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

¹³His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

¹⁴The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

¹⁵Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

¹⁶Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

¹⁷The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

¹⁸Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

¹⁹Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

²⁰O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

²²Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
